Hydrology in an Era of Global Change
Description:
Prof. Dennis Lettenmaier, in his 2008 Robert E. Horton Lecture on Hydrology, traces the history of how hydrologists and meteorologists have attempted to do the book keeping which allows us to understand the water cycle. As we move from a qualitative to a quantitative hydrological science in the new era of changing climate, will we be able to answer questions essential to our nation? A look ahead at projections of the water resources of the Colorado River Basin provides a key example.
Speaker(s):
Dennis P. Lettenmaier, professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Washington
